WINNER: BEST TRAVEL APP IN AFRICA (VISA AND SOUTH AFRICA TOURISM AWARDS 2013).

Africa: Live helps you find and share real-time African animal sightings on your phone or tablet as well as generate data for conservation.

Our live safari sightings map shows you what animals are near you right now (as reported by over 27,000 other app users) and allows you to easily and immediately share your sightings with other safari goers or anyone watching the map around the world, as well as for use in conservation research. It is a must-have for any African safari, whether to Kruger or Addo, Serengeti or Pilanesberg.

Africa is big, animals are relatively small and have got pretty good at hiding. Evolution has taken care of that. Our Africa: Live map shows you the most recent animal sightings that have been reported in the last 24 hours by other safari goers and professional guides via social media or added to the map directly. It helps you get the most out of your safari by increasing the chances of finding those animals you are most interested in. You can easily add your own sightings and photos directly and immediately to the map.

The app also includes extensive reference material such as an safari animal field guide, gate opening times and park contact details.

FEATURES - The ONLY live map of Africa showing your location and the location of recent animal sightings. - Clickable, colour-coded markers showing sighting details, descriptions and a photo. - One-touch to add a sighting to the map yourself, including uploading your own photo.

If you're not sure what it is you're looking at, or what it is doing just ask us via the map and we'll answer (or if we can't, our Facebook friends will!). - Safari tips, contact details and lots more useful information. - Contribute to our citizen-scientist research database: we catalogue, analyse and will share sightings data with conservation bodies to support wildlife audits.

Please note: - A desktop version of the map can be viewed www.wildafricalive.com. However performance of the desktop version of this map will be highly limited on a mobile device. - The map and social media stream require phone network coverage to be updated, although sightings can now be recorded with no phone network using the offline maps. These will automatically be uploaded later.
